- "My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time
image image image
On January 21, we arrived at the Teknon clinic late at night, which pleasantly surprised us without any problems settled in the ward and the examination began in the morning. The clinic impressed us. The medical staff was incredibly polite and friendly. Everything, two days of examinations passed easily and naturally. Many thanks to the international department, Irina, who was in touch with us even at night, Olesya, who led us from September to January and reacted and responded to all my letters. Maria, who monitored all the sensors and indications during the examination and of course Dr. Antonio Russi! During the first 10 years of treatment of epilepsy, I heard a phrase from which all doctors fended off, as in Ukraine as in Russia. Need to find the CAUSE of epilepsy! It plays a crucial role in the selection of treatment. It is also worth noting that the participation of these wonderful people in the acquisition of essential drugs in Spain (we just brought them to the house) My family and I remember the time spent in Teknon with warmth and gratitude to all who were with us for this short time. And something tells me that we will meet with you next year) once again, many thanks to all those who were next to us, Irina, Olesya, Maria, Kirill (thanks for calling back September and introduced us to the doctor in Kiev) and of course a special thanks and kowtow to Dr. Antonio Russi.

"I did not regret spending a great deal of money to be treated abroad at the Tecnon Clinic
I am very glad to have been given such an opportunity to be treated abroad, namely in the Tekhnon Clinic. In Ukraine, I was diagnosed with epilepsy, which shocked me, but after seven days of diagnosis I was excluded. Absolutely nothing indicated epilepsy. I especially liked the very friendly staff, although we spoke different languages. I was constantly under the care of not only the sisters, only we pressed the red button, the nurse immediately ran over to us and provided the necessary help. Doctor Antonio Russi, wonderful. He was looking at the last detail. Acted cautiously and orderly. I did not regret spending a great deal of money to be treated abroad at the Tecnon Clinic. In Ukraine, I received no help. And now I'm just back and I'm already on the mend. Thank you to all your staff.

"We have small victories and hope for a full recovery!!!"
I am very grateful to the company for giving us the opportunity to meet Dr. Russi. This is a doctor with tremendous knowledge and extensive experience in the field of epilepsy. For about 6 years, my child and I have been struggling with epileptic seizures of a very complex form. Consultations were held in Kiev and could not even make a correct diagnosis; they were treated for about 4 years in Israel. A year ago, began treatment with Dr. Russi. This is a radically different approach to examination, diagnosis and treatment. A child who suffered from attacks every night - came to life !!! We have small victories and hope for a full recovery !!! Our path is very difficult, but we do not give up !!!
About Bookimed service
Many thanks to the bookimed company in the person of Daria Zaichikova, who organized an emergency flight to the clinic in just 2 days! She was always in touch with us, provided moral support, exchanged tickets and booked a hotel. In a difficult situation, especially when the child is in poor condition, it is difficult to get together and solve everything on your own...

"Definitely to be considered as best clinic in Europe
image
Thanks a lot for excellent service. I can not thank enough staff of Teknon Medical Centre Epilepsy Department, especially Irina who was assisting and interpreting everything in Russian to Dr Antonio Russi. It made huge impression on us how thoroughly he analysed the disease from different aspects carefully listening to all details. The 6 days EEG analytical approach including MRI and PET made it perfectly clear which remedy to apply. Definitely to be considered as best clinic in Europe.

"To say that you liked the clinic is to say nothing
To say that you liked the clinic is to say nothing. I liked everything, like Dr. Antonio Russi, and all the honey. the staff who, at the first call, helped to resolve any emerging issues. When at 3 nights a moment excited me, honey on duty. the staff immediately called Dr. Russi, who immediately answered and made the necessary recommendations. Because we are quite meticulous about cleanliness, looked through every corner, everything was clean and sterile to excellent!

FAQ

What does determine the epilepsy treatment cost?

The epilepsy treatment cost depends on what therapeutic method a patient will undergo — medication therapy or surgery.

Before prescribing the therapy, an epileptologist carry out a complete examination of a patient. For example, specialists in the Teknon Epilepsy Institute provide electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring for 3 days.

During the procedure, a patient receives antiepileptic drugs. The doctor can immediately track the effect of drugs on the brain, replace it or adjust the dose. If the drugs do not work, an epileptologist send a patient for the surgery.

What method of epilepsy treatment cost higher?

70% of people with epilepsy receive medication treatments. The medication treatment cost is rather lower than surgery, because there is no intervention. However, a patient have to buy the drugs after they run out.

What does the epilepsy surgery cost depend on?

The epilepsy surgery cost depends on:

  • type of surgery
  • kind of technology
  • location of clinic
  • experience of a surgeon.
What does affect the epilepsy surgery cost most of all?

What is the epilepsy surgery cost? — one of the most crucial questions for people requiring this treatment option.

The exact price for operation varies in different countries and medical facilities. The average cost depends on:

  • price policy within the state
  • hospital brand recognition
  • neurosurgeon's experience
  • volume and complexity of surgery.

Except for these factors, some additional aspects may increase or reduce the epilepsy treatment cost. Among them is the type of ward, meals, interpreter service, etc. Each patient may agree or refuse these services.
